Product Description:

The MCP020D-V180-NI-L1CN-NNNN is a moving-coil linear motor produced by Bosch Rexroth Indramat within the MCP Linear Motors series. The unit converts electrical energy from a servo drive into direct linear thrust, removing the need for ball screws or toothed belts. This characteristic allows high acceleration, zero backlash, and precise position control, so the motor is typically integrated into pick-and-place modules, gantry stages, semiconductor handling lines, and other compact automation systems.

During operation, the coil set is energized from a bus voltage of 300 VDC, a level matched to standard Rexroth drive stages and sufficient for moderate travel speeds. Heat generated in the windings is released by natural convection, so no liquid or forced-air auxiliaries are required, which simplifies carriage design and reduces maintenance. The active section uses size code 020, indicating a compact cross-section that fits into light-duty actuators. A D frame length extends the magnetic track so continuous force can be increased without increasing width or height. Machine builders attach the primary through the magnet rail’s I-shaped mounting, a geometry that centers the thrust line and eases alignment on aluminum profiles.

Service connections emerge through a front cable exit, keeping the flex conduit on the same side as moving sensors and helping prevent loops that might foul adjacent axes. Position feedback and commutation are derived from a Hall unit with analog output, enabling sinusoidal current control at low velocities. The product is classified as an MCP Ironless Linear Motor; the absence of back iron minimizes attraction forces and allows smoother motion over lightweight bearings. This code variant has no special design features, so it uses the standard mechanical envelope and electrical interface for the series.
